How much snow have you had so far, Ginny?

My car, parked out on the street, appears to have about 4 inches piled up on it.  Our county is on a Level 1 snow emergency.

Saw the film of the play ZOMBIE today.  Our friends Tom Caruso and Bill Connington are the director and writer-star - the source material is a novella by Joyce Carol Oates, and she joined Bill and Tom for a talkback after the short film.  I'd never seen Ms. Oates live before, and it was very exciting to hear her speak.

Four inches doesn't sound like a lot of snow, but it's supposed to blow and drift overnight.  I, too, am glad we're all here at home.  Rob and I trimmed the Christmas tree this afternoon.

4 1/2 inches is all we got, but the wind was the problem.

However, I LOVED the video of Turkey, Lurkey Time...reminds me so much of the TV specials we used to see when I was a little kid!

And now I must know who those 3 gals are, what they look like now, and what there entire life from then until now has been like.

DR JohnG - Will you be trying out any more new restaurants soon? Or cookie and cake recipes? ;)
All the time. Any type of recipe you interested in? I'm making Mom's Tennessee Jam Cake tomorrow because it needs to sit a few days (actually about two weeks) before it's at its best.


Well... I was just hoping that all your recipe tasting and testing wasn't the cause of your acid reflux.
Thanks for the concern. It was a bit too much chocolate and the caffeine did it. Also wrecked my sleep for a couple of days.

I have enjoyed her work, but she writes soooo much that I haven't read that I really don't know where to start.

Just saw "Tangled" this afternoon. Good fun. But I prefer the old-fashioned drawing. These 3-D style (I saw it in 2-D) characters look sickly and strange to me. I liked the script, but I preferred the visuals of the "The Princess and the Frog."


I think the leading male character is a hottie!  Can you say that about a cartoon character?
I guess you like things animated.


After this long, a still-life would wind me.
;D

Not putting up a tree this year. I decided it would probably be better if I cleaned some of this house.

Good Evening!

And "The Amazing Race" is starting now. Just 28 minutes late/delayed.

I wonder if it started at different times in different places. Because I switched over to CBS at 9:15pm to see the preview for TAR 18. And it definitely wasn't 28 minutes delayed.

Btw, I am very unimpressed with CBS for showing teams in the preview that are definitely NOT on Tar 18. Especially sad that one of my favorite teams (who they showed repeatedly from this season) is not on.


I think these are most of the confirmed teams:
TAR 18- unfinished business
Kynt and Vyxsin
Amanda and Kris
Jaime and Cara
Kisha and Jen
Margie and Luke
Mel and Mike
Flight Time and Big Easy
Zev and Justin
Jet and Cord
Gary and Mallory
Michael and Kevin

And yes DRs Jose and Cillaliz they showed a ton of teams from season 17 (current season) who are not on TAR 18. What's up with that?

Jose's post sent me into giggles.  We are cleaning out our liqueur cabinet.  There is way too much stuff in there.  I decided to taste each of the whiskey bottles to determine what I like and don't like.  My conclusion, we have way to many open bottles of whiskey & not one bottle of Crown Royal.  Way too much that little tastes added up to too much whiskey for me to drink on an empty stomach, and I didn't like most of them. 

I then tasted some Glenlivet which I enjoyed very much & think a couple of the whiskeys destroyed my taste buds & it is possible I might like some of the whiskeys I thought I didn't like.


And I guess the lesson learned today, is that if you want your liquor cabinet cleaned out, DON'T call Jane.

;D

Actually.... It got cleaned out because I went in there looking to taste all of the blended whiskeys.  I had no idea how many were in there.

Well... I'm pretty sure "Ms. Wong" is Baayork Lee. -Speaking of A Chorus Line...

I'll be having lunch with her later this week. :)

As always, it all depends whether or not a football game delayed the start time.

Yah but since we both live on the East Coast wouldn't our TARs start at the same time? Even if we were watching different football games (I think we had New England). Don't they switch and show the ends of all the 4pm games before starting TAR?

I am almost positive the middle one (the featured one) is the head of the dance program at Beaverton's Arts and Communications Magnet School.  I talked about her last year when she mentioned, almost just in passing, how she had worked with Michael Bennett and had been one of the Turkey Lurkey girls.  My jaw literally dropped.
